Adam Umbach Joins the Family
A new addition to the Carousel Fine Art family, Adam Umbach brings a distinctive voice to our New Buffalo gallery—one that merges expressive mark-making with photorealistic detail.
Umbach’s paintings draw from layers of personal symbolism, often featuring childhood objects like toy boats, rubber ducks, and teddy bears rendered with striking precision and layered with gestural, spontaneous brushwork. Rooted in coastal imagery inspired by his time in mid-coast Maine and East Hampton, his work captures the freedom and unpredictability of youth.
This tension between control and chaos gives his compositions a powerful emotional resonance. Somehow feeling like a children’s drawing and a fine art painting. Umbach offers not only technical skill but a compelling visual language grounded in realism, imperfection, and the perfect .
